Do you want freedom from frizz? ➡ bit.ly/freedomfromfrizz - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I always air dry because I’m too lazy to blow dry, but now I want to get a diffuser and try it out after binge watching your videos!
i'm so jealous of your hair colour and how shiny it gets.
just wow!
i've always been airdrying my hair and it always ends up in me having frizzy, uneven hair :\. I really wanna try out diffusing because it takes 5 hours for my hair to completely dry and it will speed up the process but also so that i can get a more even curl pattern
my hair is low porosity and pretty thin so I find that everytime i air dry it i dont get as much definition or volume because my hair takes a long time to dry and because it's thin it also get weighed down by all the water weight. Just my personal experience for anyone who has the same problem. I often blowdry with a cool setting to avoid heat damage :)
Your videos have been my holy grail during my curly/wavy girl transformation..keep it up! ♥️👍
I actually really like both your diffused and air-dried hair! It looks great with both the smaller and the bigger clumps. But definitely, time is a BIG factor when deciding if you want to air-dry.
I air dry because personally, I don't have the money to spend on a diffuser. Though one day, I will get one. But for now, it works on my hair just fine
this worked so much better than diffusing my hair!! i haven’t been able to get ahold of my 2b/2c hair BUT FINALLY yay ayala ya THANK YOU!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I love your videos! Thank you so much for always sharing great tips and ideas! All the best!
Also, your eye makeup looks amazing!
Loving your videos - they are helping me so much! And love the sweatshirt 💗
Your channel has helped me so much - our hair is so similar and this is helping me figure out what to do/what not to do with my hair as I'm just starting the CG method. I haven't bought a diffuser yet and have been air drying, which definitely seems to make my hair stringier and stretched out. Also I had no idea you were supposed to put in that much gel! This explains a lot hahah
My hair is very similar to yours - I have the same issue with air drying so I don’t even bother anymore. All this time, I thought I was doing something wrong, so thanks for showing that it’s not just me! 😀
I was just thinking your hair looked so long!
Personally I love the beach, long, undone curls- that’s what I aspire to with my CGM
I’m still so amazed that you have 3 different types of curl patterns in your hair meanwhile my hair is in the 1-2 range so I don’t think I’ll have any luck with the cg method but it’s very entertaining to watch!
Josefina Hernandez i always thought the same thing, but my hair is really wavy after about a year!
I am SO curious about a Flora & Curl wash day since it feels like no one knows about them, i hope you do it someday! This is totally dope too though! Your hair looks really lovely both ways, just slightly different. This is really random but you remind me of a sunflower 🌻 for some reason lol
Thank you so much. I just found out my hair type and then your video came up and I followed your steps of hair care and I love 😊 how my hair looks from the first time but I used my regular products since I don’t know test what’s good for wavy/curly hair. Thank you so much God bless you. I’m subscribing to your channel ❤
Thought you’d like to know that whenever I flip my hair over, I do your “wah” sound 😂
Chelsea Pickslay hahaha that is awesome!!!
Your hair looks beautiful air dried! I always air dry every wash day, even though I'm very low porosity. I am so used to wet hair it doesn't bother me. I just go into work and forget about my hair until it's time to SOTC. Really, I'm just too lazy to diffuse and I feel like I lose some definition, too. Thanks for the great content!
Me too,,, exactly!!!!
I love your shirt ❤️🙏 Your hair turned out great!! I also have fine hair with 2c waves!! I am anxious to find out how my hair will look diffused,, since I always air dry!! Now that Winter is almost here I need to buy a diffuser bc I don't like my hair to be wet and cold for so long!! Ty ❤️ for the video ❤️😃👍
I just love your hair it's so beautiful
The color, texture n shine everything.
I came to your channel bcoz we have same hair type when I saw ur before cgm images its exactly how my hairs are looking now.
I inspire to have hair like yours😘
Sooo helpful!!! Thank you so much! I hadn't realized it, but my hair is wavy...I thought for YEARS that it was straight but just weird! I'm trying "curly girl method" and what a difference! It's a new process for me...still in search of an affordable clarifying shampoo and high moisturizing conditioner...😉I'll get there eventually...
Your hair looks great, just more wavy than usual.
My hair is short, fine and there isn't much of it, so it takes 25 min max to dry. In summer, 15 but it seems to dry frizzy. I've just started. Hair is still in a very damaged state.
It looks really great, thanks for sharing! Will try...
Would love to see your only drugstore products wash day routine!! :)
Your hair still looks good but I agree with you. I air dry part of the way but I don't get good definition unless I diffuse at the end. As always, love your videos and God Bless.
So glad mine air dries well! I've got fairly fine hair but it dries quickly - it's less frizzy air dried. I tend to have better hair on day 2 and 3, oddly.
Oooooo That is amazing!
I can say I air dry most of the times, except a little bit diffusing right now cause it’s so cold (and I wash early in the morning before leaving to work). And I think this is a better option to make our hair healthier, than diffusing, since I don’t have all the diffusing time which is normally needed. But although my high po hair dries completely in an hour, this time is longer the more product (most of all gel) I apply, so now I prefer using only conditioner as a leave in, or a true leave in, then I let air dry: best and faster result (and don’t mind a minimal frizz)
Never been this early 😶
Started CG 2-3 months ago and your videos helped sooooo much! Trying not to give up with my transition hair
Don't give up, girl! I've been doing the CGM since late July of this year and, let me tell ya, I've had some REALLY bad hair days in between. Enough for me to almost throw in the towel. But don't give up! Hang in there! For me what helps is finding new tips, like the rice water rinse, for example. I tried that once and it did wonders! Look for things that revive your curiosity and gets you excited about your hair. Good luck!! :)
@@angelicadominguez7608 Thank you so much for the support, I will try a lot of stuff to find different products and rinses that my hair likes. Thank you so much!
Courtney, can you do a video on how you part you hair after you wash it, before styling?! That is my downfall!
I think she talks about it in her "how I diffuse my hair" video
I was wondering this too cause when I did my hair curly I did not have a good part.
You're so pretty!
I LOVE that you show your faith on your shirts in your videos! Thank you for all you do. I am about 4 months in and am seeing improvements in my wavy/curly hair. I am not sure if I am to the best its going to get yet or not. I still struggle with the squish to condish in knowing how long to do it and when to stop and let it be. It is confusing.
I love her shirts, too😊
Awwww thank you! I’m glad you like the shirts. Head over to Instagram and message me if you would like one. They are a part of a line of merchandise I am developing. And I totally feel your struggle. It took me a long time to find the stopping point that worked for me. It was a lot of trial and error. I find that I just keep squishing until I feel like all the conditioner is absorbed into my hair. 🤷🏼♀️
My lord, who has time for all of that hahaha well done! I don't think I have the energy for it but I appreciate your instruction
Thanks! lol I do keep it a simple a lot of the time. Especially, now a days.
i wash mine like that too! I just don't like wet hair on my back when I shower but yeah the added volume is nice
I love your shirt! Where did you get it? God bless 😊💛
LOVE that shirt Courtney! 🙌💗
Pretty impressive results too! Here in the dryness of Colorado, hair tends to dry faster. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks!
I live in CO too, and I usually air dry unless I am in a hurry. It works pretty good for me. 👍
I think more gel would help when you air dry to get that cast. ❤
I air dry every day because I don’t have time to diffuse. Thanks for showing what your hair does, as I think it’s similar to mine.
Heather Ratliff , I struggle to get a part and the top of my hair is crazy when I wash upside down and air dry. Any tips?
My hair takes about 4 hours to air dry
I always air dry. I think it was the towel you used. Since I bought mine my hair dries faster.
Courtney, have you used any TreLuxe products? Can you tell me which ones and did you like them?
This video was helpful to see the difference from when you diffuse. My go to is air day for time sake but I think I need to try diffusing!
I would also love to see a video on coconut free products if you have any favorites. I believe my hair is sensitive to coconut, it felt like a protein overload almost!
Coconut is one of the heaviest oils and can leave some hair types very greasy and weighed down (including mine). It's a great hot oil treatment, though!
Linden Peters that makes sense! I’ve been avoiding products with coconut in them recently but it’s hard to find coconut free than I thought!
I’d love to see a coconut free product routine as well. I think I have a sensitivity/allergy to it. It just strips my hair completely.
Before using any type of gel/custard/gelee, my hair would take 4-5 hrs to air dry. Now it takes over 12 hrs. 🤤 Sometimes, it's still slightly damp in some areas, esp underneath. I just ordered the Xtava blow dryer with the matching black orchid diffuser. Never diffused before, so hope I have good results.
Was this inspired by your post from the other day, when we were all wondering why you would rather let your hair air dry without product than with product? ;) But I do see how that might work better for your fine hair type. Maybe you get more volume if you air dry with no product...?
Please show how to get the O.C. hairstyle (Marissa Cooper, season 3; Misha Barton) without heat?! Thanks ;-)
Hi! How long does it last? How does it look the following days?
I want to try this teaspoon thing. Or measured amounts at least. My hair is probably 6 inches longer than yours though, so maybe more like a tbsp?
A little less curly, but GOSH it looks lovely! 😍 I always air dry (I threw out my hair dryer when i started CG, thinking it was against the 'no heat' "rule"😫) and this is so similar to how a good wash day turns out for me. Makes me want to try diffusing, but I'm so scaaaaaared I'm gonna make it frizzy 😰
marisadaniela6 I too always air dry. I cannot seem to diffuse without making my hair frizzy.
@@ginakinard6950 I have never tried to diffuse, but as frizzy as mine gets when air drying, I feel like it would only be worse with diffusing. I sooo crave the volume and enhanced curls people get from it, though! Decisions, decisions 😆
Do you have recommendations for sleeping with wet hair? I like to wash my hair at night so I have plenty of time to mess with it rather than rushing before work.
also should we always leave the reg conditioner in the hair (not Rinse)?
Hi Courtney, have you compared this brush with the Wet Brush?
My hair is only curly on the ends and in the inside. Can you help me??
And tips for people with tiny curl clumps? I don’t know if i can be doing something to avoid it or whether it is just the way my hair is. Should i be caring for my hair differently than people with naturally larger clumps? Great video!
Tiegan Greenwood Did you see Swavy Curly Courtney’s video on curl clump hacks? There are some amazing tips there.
Tiegan Greenwood applying a cream as a base followed by gel on soaking wet hair helps clumps form. And clarify, if there is buildup on your hair it is less likely to form clumps🤗
Have you tried the bowl method? That can help.
can I ask why when you are squishing ..either for squishing to condish or squishing in your gel styler that you don't close you fingers completely?
It seems to me that would induce more waves ? Is my thinking on this wrong? Something I don't know?
Do you buy your Bounce Curl products from Sally’s?
do u never do this in the shower when u actually shower.... or do u fine it easier to do seperate?
What kind of towel is that? Looks silky, but also other videos say not to put your hair in a towel
like your shirt!!
i could care less if my hair is wet when i get to work 😂😂Love airdrying!
Thanks for this. I hear all the time to “diffuse for definition” but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say air drying “stretches out my curls.” I have been air drying for about 30 years and have only diffused since I started CG about 3 years ago. I don’t do it very often but that might be why I struggle with stretched out curls. 😁
Same here ;) with diffusing I have more curl and volume, which I personnaly like more.... it's just that water is weight, and weighs the hair down so fine haired (and higher porosity) people can benefit by diffusing to get rid of this extra weight so it won't stretch the curls out.
I diffuse on the lowest heat and air flow settings and I still get LOTS of frizz when I diffuse. Any suggestions?
@@elizabethpassini9271 what products do you use and what's your hairtype?
@@hardenzielig I've got 2B, 2C, A few 3A. I use Kinky Curl not today leave in, then Kinky Curl Curling Custard, then LA Sports Gel (blue). I normally apply soaking wet, plop for a min of 20 minutes and air dry. Then scrunch it out. Works pretty well. When I try to diffuse, I can see little frizzes pop up almost immediately. I get no cast.
@@elizabethpassini9271 when you have good results with the products combined with airdrying, I guess it might be the way of diffusing that causes the littles frizzies. It's normal though that with airdrying the cast can be harder/better. When I diffuse my hair is going through a stage of wet, slightly cast, cast , and how drier it goes the cast releases to soft curls...the clumps itselves have more body in comparison to airdrying is my experience. Last couple of months I started using way less leave-in then before, now I only use the smallest amount just to get a bit of slip which provides me to get my hair clumped nicely, and not more... reason is to get more body and volume in my fine hair. But when it comes to diffusing: have you ever seen the following video's , may be you could watch it and try the technique that's used in it..
:) start watching at 6min30 th-cam.com/video/8MdB1CxYBCM/w-d-xo.html
or this one th-cam.com/video/s7VoPWK-wEo/w-d-xo.html
Eh it’s worth a try, I don’t have any proper conditioners for curly hair BUT that won’t stop me from altleast trying this
Absolutely!
Why is watching you wash and condition and scrunch and...So therapeutic?? 😂
Total ASMR! 🌟💞
@@sandyhathaway2144 too true 👍
I am planning on buying Bounce Curl products for the first time soon. I find it interesting that you said the gel was protein heavy. I commented on an Instagram post from Bounce Curl about how I was worried about the gel having too much protein and the company commented back that the gel does have protein, but it isn't heavy. I haven't figured out how my hair reacts to protein yet, so I was concerned.
BashfulPosh with Kati Benzer yeah, it’s not a “heavy” product but there is a ton of protein in it. 🤷🏼♀️
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I don't know if Bounce Curl misunderstood my comment or not, but I asked if it was protein heavy and they said it does have protein, but it isn't heavy. 🤷♀️
Have you ever tried zero waste products like bar shampoos and conditioner?
Lisa Sobel-Berlow I have! Go check out my simply curls co one brand washday!
If I don’t diffuse my hair, my hair looks straight wavy. I don’t add any products after I shower either cause I hate the feeling of product in my hair. I tried the plop method but then the water absorbed in my hair transfers to my scalp and it makes it sticky from the conditioner I use. IDK WHAT TO DO
I always air dry my hair, and find that I get more volume when I apply my products to damp hair!
heather burtness me too! I microplop then add products and air dry. It’s my holy grail!
Just looked up microplopping, I'm totally going to try it, thanks for the suggestion!
Did you ever tried the beer rinse? I tried it once and my hair was soft and shiny as never before.
Nanami Natsuki I have! And I really loved it!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney could you do a video about it? I think this could be very useful for other curlies and wavies.
Have you thought about making merch?! I would totally wear swavy merch. And I see people comment on your T-shirt’s all the time so we know you’ve got some skilz 😉
You READ MY MIND!!! Coming SOON!
i only air dry and i need to get more volume…I despise diffusers! I’m way too impatient…Don’t have the time in the morning!😵😂
You're so nice!
Well, you are so so sweet. Thank you!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney thank you I thrive on compliments like that lol 😄
👋
Do you always use a hair oil to dry scrunch or only if theres a gel cast/crunch?
You should always apply a sealent oil at the end of your washdays styling. It is great for the health of your hair. Using a oil at the end of washday is a great way to lock in moisture and maintain it for day 2 and 3 and on. The oil is used to set your style and stop friz it does this by locking out humidity, and sheilding your hair from environmental factors. Their are many sealant oils from super light to the more heavy. I believe their is one for every hair type!❤. Important note Make sure to use a sealant oil, also sealant oils should only be applied to already moisturized hair. A sealent oil is used to maintain moisture and set style, it should never be mistaken for a hair moisturizer.
Don't say sorry I love your goof. And your long video's. And your sound effect ahha.
I need to figure out how to air dry my hair 😅 it's nearly to my waist, so I can't just let it sit and air dry because it touches and rubs on literally everything and I'd love to find a way where I can air dry it without leaving it down. I also can't plop because it makes my hair so frizzy, even with a t-shirt, because my hair is so damaged and I find the plop takes too much moisture out of my hair. Would love to have any suggestions that won't take my hair 8 hours to dry
Ohhhh so this is kinda tricky for sure. What you might do is is drape a scarf around your shoulders while you dry. Then if you sit somewhere you could drape the scarf of the back of the chair or couch and "prop" up your hair. I tend to sit under a ceiling fan while I air dry to help speed up the process. What do you think?
aw rip my hair is quick drying even tho it was ass long 😂 I just squeezed it alot and wearing the towel around me ?
You didn't show us how to plop!
Beautiful shirt! Could you please share where you got it?
Karissa Thatcher it may or may not be a part of a line of merchandise I am developing! *wink wink* Haha, head over to Instagram and message me an I can get you more details if you would like to get you hands on one.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney that's so cool!! I don't have Instagram... I might need to think about getting one.
i actually laughed when she said “wow, i’m such a goof” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
God your hair is awesome
Yeah, with out the diffuser my hair is crap.
Beautimas!
April Pacholski awww thanks friend!!!
Your hair looks a lot like mine when I don't use product.
I have to air dry. My hair gets way too frizzy diffusing, even on the lowest air flow with no heat. I don't think putting my hair in a pineapple at night works for me either. I just started the CGM on my 2B hair three weeks ago. The first week my hair looked great! Now, I got some funky Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman thing going on! Not. Good.
same with me 😭
When I diffuse my hair, pretty quickly there starts to be flyaways/frizziness and I'm not sure why? Wonding if there's a fix for this!
do you dry with heat?
I get the same thing. Even when I do it on the lowest/cool settings.
4 hours? My hair dries up veeeery fast. It takes an hour at most. Some times half an hour when its veeery hot.
Do you clarify every time you wash?
Kristi Foley ahh please don't clarify everyday! You've probably already already figured that out by now but just in case, you're supposed to clarify every 2-3 weeks or so.
I'd love to try your method, but with my back problem, I can't bend over long enough to do that. And I'm too short to do it in the kitchen sink.
Totally get it! This video may be of help for you! I showed how I did the method upright. th-cam.com/video/3xraPINfpuc/w-d-xo.html
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Thank you so much.
Did anyone see that dog at 7:28 ?!!!!!!
What is a cast?
A cast is what most gel products give(hair feels crunchy when dry) that help with definition and hold. after your hair is totally dry, whether air drying or diffusing...you break the cast by scrunching upwards and it makes the hair go back to soft mode...and it holds those pretty waves and curls.
Have you ever tried Monat hair products? I have a friend that sells it and she is really pressuring me to get some. I’m just scared to spend THAT much money on hair care! I just can’t spend that much without knowing if it’s good or not. So, just curious if you’ve tried it.
Monat is a MLM(uses shady business practices imho) and their products are known to create hairloss. You can read more about multi level marketing(MLM) on reddit antimlm or do your own Internet search. PLEASE do an Internet search about Monat hairloss. Do not ruin your hair by using their products. Also, I hope your friend stops selling Monat products. MLMs are notorious for causing financial hardships/bankruptcy for a lot of their distributors. Hope you find a healthy hair product that works for you.

You often say a product smells good but you don't say what it smells like.
